Technical Support / Dropouts Persist Since Rosetta Upgrade Part 2
« on: May 30, 2020, 09:25:17 am »
HI Lee and Team,
I posted this some time ago. As you know I was an early adopter, but since the rosetta upgrade and more specifically the ground traffic update i've had such a poor user experience that i've pretty much resigned my second unit to the shed and my current unit is likely to end up the same.

I fly around the southeast and specifically through the Gatwick / Heathrow / F'boro mess so reliable GPS is something I need. My ipad never loses signal but when using my pilotaware I consistenly lose the signal and have to quickly change Skydemon to location services. It's just far too unreliable.
I changed the UDP as you suggested Lee but this hasn't solved the problem.
I've been flying a PA28, the unit is sat ontop of the combing so direct view with the sky, and in both of the two last instances I was straight and level flight when I lost connection on my ipad. I have tried using both USB connection to the aircraft and the anker battery pack and had the same results over a number of flights.
Clearly somethings wrong, unless other people are experiencing persistent connection issues then I guess its something hardware related. Pre rosetta and ground traffic uplink the units were rock solid with no issues and I relied on them every flight.
I've attached yesterdays flight track, and the one before. I don't know if this is of any use to you. It was fine for a period of time then just dropped out, rather annoyingly just as I was heading towards the F'boro CTA.
I just can't use the units reliably when flying around the TMA, the distraction is too great at the moment.
I appreciate any thoughts you may have and if you need any uploads from me, please let me know. Hopefully this will help solve any potential issues for other users as I note theres a few other posts where people seem to be having similar problems.
